Cataclysm Screenshot of the Day - Blackwing Descent
The Screenshot of the Day Gallery has been updated with a shot from Blackwing Descent. The dragon featured in this screenshot seems to be Atramedes, one of the boss of the instance.

Cataclysm Work In Progress - Twilight Highlands
Twilight Highlands is one of the new zones of Cataclysm, it is located near the Wetlands and Grim Batol and looks like one of the most interesting zone of the expansion (with Uldum).

Important! - Screenshots were taken from an Alliance point of view.Important! - The zone is still in development, the screenshots and video below aren't representative of the final content. Important! - Spoilers.

TotalBiscuit released a nice video of the zone a few days ago.

And I went through the zone to screenshot most of the interesting things I could find. You will most likely meet a couple of major lore characters here. (More on that later ...)

• Character’s name and server
• The quest and subzone you were on when this occurred
• Whether a crash was involved when this happened.
• The subzone your character is currently in
• If your minimap is not working properly, please note whether it is blank or currently displaying an incorrect subzone.

Additionally, please refrain from moving your character in the next couple of days after you post so we can copy your character’s data and attempt to debug the problem.

Fan Arts
The official site has been updated with 5 awesome new Fan Arts. I will sell my soul for a high resolution version of the pandaren.

This may seem unrelated, but.. what happens if a new NPC has the same name of a pre-existing character you have? Do you get forced to re-name?

It's possible one of the NPCs in that video has the name of one of my toons.

To my knowledge, you are not forced to rename your character. At least, generally speaking. I can't say for certain that you wouldn't have to if an NPC of the same name happened to be a very important NPC. Chances of that occurring are about the same as getting the Martin Fury shirt, though.

Not entirely true, as OMFGcata (Jesse Cox) is doing quite similar things, but with a totally different style. And for all the haters of TotalBiscuit: go watch Jesse Cox' vids instead. Me personally enjoy both of them, so I say "Keep them coming!" .
